New Horizons of Quantum and Classical Information 2015 (NHQCI2015)

- Quantum annealing, Error correcting codes, and Spin glasses -

August 3-5, 2015, Tokyo, Japan

Scope

Quantum annealing is a metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems using quantum-mechanical effects. Both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum annealing, including its performance in comparison with classical methods and quantum error correction, attract much attention recently partly due to its hardware implementation. Interestingly, some aspects of the classical theory of computing, such as error-correcting codes, can be formulated in terms of statistical mechanics of disordered systems, spin glasses in particular. We therefore believe that the interplay between the theories of quantum and classical computing and statistical mechanics would play vital roles in the development of this interdisciplinary field. One of the main objectives of this meeting is to bring together researchers in this and related fields to present latest developments and discuss possible future directions.
